Man becomes aware of the sacred because it manifests itself,
shows itself, as something wholly different from the profane...
something sacred shows itself to us ... something of a
wholly different order, a reality that does not belong to our
world, in objects that are an integral part of our natural
"profane" world. ~ Mircea Eliade

Don’t give up! I believe in you all
A person’s a person, no matter how small!
And you very small persons will not have to die
If you make yourselves heard! So come on, now, and TRY!

Horton Hears a Who!, the movie adaptation of which is
opening tomorrow)

The joy of life discovered by the Greeks is not a profane type
of enjoyment: it reveals the bliss of existing, of sharing — even
fugitively — in the spontaneity of life and the majesty of the
world. Like so many others before and after them, the Greeks
learned that the surest way to escape from time is to exploit the
wealth, at first sight impossible to suspect, of the lived instant.
~ Mircea Eliade

Suggestions

For those to whom a stone reveals itself as sacred, its
immediate reality is transmuted into supernatural reality. In other
words, for those who have a religious experience all nature is
capable of revealing itself as cosmic sacrality. ~ Mircea Eliade

Tisn't life that matters! 'Tis the courage you bring to it. ~ Hugh Walpole

than words, and in this case, actions are remembered, unfettered by
the mortal body. Zarbon 00:54, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

The whole object of science is to synthesize, and so simplify;
and did we but know the uttermost of a subject we could make it
singularly clear. ~ Percival Lowell

Some things in life are flexible and friendly. They realise that
a brittle nature does nothing for their popularity, and so adopt an
admirable willingness to change. Thus our lives are enriched as we
coax these considerate allies into wonderful new forms without
disturbing their fundamental chemistry. Take for example: The
Truth. ~ David

Freedom is a noble thing!
Great happiness does freedom bring.
All solace to a man it gives;
He lives at ease that freely lives.

The most wonderful of all things in life, I believe, is the
discovery of another human being with whom one's relationship has a
glowing depth, beauty, and joy as the years increase. This inner
progressiveness of love between two human beings is a most
marvelous thing, it cannot be found by looking for it or by
passionately wishing for it. It is a sort of Divine accident. ~ Hugh Walpole

I believe the root of all happiness on this earth to lie in the
realization of a spiritual life with a consciousness of something
wider than materialism; in the capacity to live in a world that
makes you unselfish because you are not overanxious about your own
comic fallibilities; that gives you tranquility without complacency
because you believe in something so much larger than yourself. ~ Hugh Walpole
